Mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, are involved in several critical functions including cell division and preserving responses to various types of stress. Studying the details of the mitochondria ...

Advance offers a new way of investigating diseases -- including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and different cancers -- where mitochondria are disrupted. An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at ...

We can all recognise that feeling of muscle fatigue after taking a brisk walk, cycling, running or playing football. Our ability to engage in physical activity for long periods of time is thanks to ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

Longevity science has spent decades chasing single molecules that might slow aging, but most candidates have delivered modest ...

Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn more calories. The findings could open the door to new treatments for ...

Scientists may have found a safer way to make cells burn more calories—by turning up the heat inside our cellular power plants.

Tiny biological batteries known as mitochondria keep the body's cells running smoothly, and their gradual decline is linked to a wide range of age-related diseases. Now scientists think they have ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that herpesvirus infection modifies the structure and normal function of the mitochondria in the host cell. The new information will help to ...
